Answer
We believe that all-seater stadia are currently the best means to ensure the safety and security of fans at designated football matches in England and Wales, but we continue to work closely with the Sports Grounds Safety Authority and football authorities to consider relevant advances in technology and data.
My officials met CFE Research in December 2018 to share emerging findings from the evidence review into standing at football. We expect to receive the final report on the findings of the evidence review shortly.
